On This Day in Weird, July 6...
1734: Hans Egede, Greenland's national saint, claims a
sea serpent sighting while sailing along the island's coast. He writes that he
and crewmen aboard saw a most terrible creature, resembling nothing they saw
before. The monster lifted its head so high that it seemed to be higher than
the crow's nest on the mainmast. The head was small and the body short and
wrinkled. The unknown creature was using giant fins which propelled it through
the water. Later the sailors saw its tail as well. The monster was longer than
our whole ship."
